Yet, a striking trend has emerged: up to 90% of patients express regret after their initial procedure, not because of the surgery itself, but because they wish they had gone further to achieve their desired eye shape. This article explores the psychological, aesthetic, and technical reasons behind this phenomenon, and how SurgyTeam\u2019s &#8220;Custom Canthoplasty&#8221; approach is setting a new standard for patient satisfaction and lasting results.

Research from 2026 highlights that patients who achieve their ideal eye shape report improved self-esteem, reduced social anxiety, and a greater sense of authenticity in their appearance. However, those who fall short of their goals often experience dissatisfaction, regret, and even psychological distress\u2014particularly if the results do not align with their expectations or if complications arise.
